re: Working 2 jobs at once - is this wrong?

Sounds like a terrible idea. If he does it, he'll end up fired from both once they find out. He'd even have to do more leg work to make sure they don't find out, which I'm sure would take an annoying amount of effort.

, the companies are competitors and would never allow this. It’s not necessarily unethical, because the jobs support different markets within the country, but job #1 and job #2 can’t find out about each other, or he’d surely be blackballed.
What advice should you give him?
Tell him to take an Ethics class, because he obviously has no clue as to the difference between ethical and unethical. But I wouldn't expect him to because it sounds like he's kind of stupid. Does he really think he can make it a couple of years without SOMEBODY finding out? A co-worker from Comapny A might take a job at Company B, only to find out your idiot friend is still his co-worker. Then what?
WTF, tell him to go for it. It's not "necessarily unethical". fricking retards.

Seriously?!? How would they NOT find out is the question you ought to be asking.

I saw a sitcom episode about this in the 90s. It had to do with prom dates instead of insurance jobs but the basics were the same. Everything worked out great for the guy. I don’t see a downside.

This is a great point.
Hilarity would ensue...and hush money payments.

This is an ethical violation will turn out to be a terrible mistake. It will absolutely get him blackballed from working for anyone in that business and could easily result in a lawsuit against him by one or both companies.

Well this certainly took a serious tone.

Early prediction:
Invariably, the new job will require your idiot friend to go to the home office within the first month or so for some kind of HR Orientation/Corporate Culture/Company Procedures and Policies seminar that takes all day. That'll be the day there is a crisis at his "old" job that he can handle because he's sitting in a lecture that may or may not include a segment on ethics. Then, as you say, hilarity ensues ... to be followed shortly by unemployment.
Plenty of people get away with double dipping for a week or two when leaving one job and starting the next, but I'd think it rarely if ever works for a couple of years.

What do think about the ethics of this had they been non competitors in unrelated fields?
Posted on 1/3/18 at 12:14 am to Eli Goldfinger
He also would also probably not be able to get another, similar job and would need to find a new career

Yep. Pussy. You should do it and make sure to update us at least every week. Do you have any idea how much fun you'd have with two six figure jobs and how much fun we'd have watching you crash and burn?

This guy you know seems a little greedy.
I see no scenario where this works in his favor.

If he is an insurance broker or dealer, it would be easy to see who is sponsoring his licenses. Like really easy. He would get caught within two weeks.

Definitely work both jobs. When one or both employers find out, threaten them with #MeToo. Continue to profit

When I have a big decision to make I say a prayer and God always guides me to the right decision.

Just thinking about this stresses me out.

Open up shop and become a consultant and openly work for both if he is as valuable to them as he thinks he is.

This should stop the debate immediately. Otherwise, your friend wants to deceive BOTH companies.

On the flip side, my pal is super intrigued by the money and - if he could just make it ride for 2 years - he could pay off his house and stick another 6 figures in the bank.
What is his plan if he's discovered and goes from 1 or 2 incomes to 0 income and with damaged job prospects?
And I don't mean just in his field. This type of risk taking would likely be discussed fair and wide, depending on how people are connected.
